Abstract

Kim, Sun-Hoi, and Heejeong Cho. 2006. An Optimality-theoretic approach to lexical inversion in the iambic pentameter of English poetry. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology. 12.1. 27-46. Lexical inversion refers to the appearance of the linguistic sequence stressed-stressless in the same word in W(eak)S(trong) position of the meter. Focusing on the lexical inversion in the iambic pentameter of English poetry, this study investigates the metrical grammar that constitutes the intuitive knowledge of poets on metricality in versifying the iambic pentameter with lexical inversion. Applying Optimality Theory, which is a dominant theory of phonology, to explaining the metrical grammar, this study proposes that the evaluation part consisting of hierarchically ranked constraints functions to evaluate the well-formedness of input metrical forms but does not derive the repaired forms from ill-formed inputs. Within this proposal, three major constraints ALIGN-L(PPh), Faithfulness Constraints (IDENT(location), MAX(σ), DEP(σ)), and STRESS MATCHING interact with one another in the ranking ALIGN-L(PPh)>>Faithfulness Constraints>>STRESS MATCHING for evaluating the well-formedness of input metrical forms in the iambic pentameter. It is shown in this study that the positional restriction that lexical inversion occurs in the left edge of phonological phrase is adequately explained by the interaction of the three major constraints within their proposed ranking.
